Military 2 info? Anyone?
Hello,
I searched thru past topics manually and using the search function but could not find any info on the upcoming Military 2. More specifically, when it's going to ship/start showing up at retailers. I saw the 2023 upcoming list said Jan. 23 but I know the folks at Spyderco like to keep us guessing (I kid. It seems that way but most likely that's not the case at all).
So, I was just inquiring to see if anyone knew anything else. I have more PM2s than I should and I have way more Para 3s than I should but I've never even handled a Military. Needless to say when I saw the Military 2 announced I got that one of a kind Spyder bite itch again.

Re: Military 2 info? Anyone?
It's in the Reveal so first quarter of 23 would be the best guess.
So many knives, so few pockets... :)

I'm guessing by late Spring early summer. I'm also guessing it's gonna fly off shelves so be prepared for lots of out of stocks.
All SE all the time since 2017

Re: Military 2 info? Anyone?
It seems to me like a few are probably already ordered:
- Knife Center Smooth G-10 + Cruwear
- BHQ M4 + Jade G10, or (my preference) Green Canvas Micarta
- St. Nick’s Red G-10 + 4V
- SFO Brown G-10 + M390
I hope that we also see:
- DLT OD Green G-10 + Cruwear
- BBS Ranger Green G-10 + K390
I'm happiest with Micarta and Tool Steel.
Top four in rotation: K390 + GCM PM2, ZCarta Shaman, Crucarta PM2, K390 + GCM Straight Spine Stretch.

Re: Military 2 info? Anyone?
BHQ Jade M4 is an auto-buy that I hope comes to fruition, and I would love to see a BBS Ranger K390!
Although that would put me into the same redundancy issue I've run into with the PM2 & P3, LOL!

I hope they will also make them in S30V in black G10 for the rest of the world.
Re: Military 2 info? Anyone?
One in S90V would be an instant buy for me.

In the Upcoming List it means the Military2 was announced / revealed in January 2023 (Reveal 12) and no mention of when it’ll show up at dealers.

I’ve had one of these on pre-order at KC for a while. I don’t know if preorder is still an optionJim Malone wrote: ↑Mon Feb 20, 2023 3:35 pmI hope they will also make them in S30V in black G10 for the rest of the world.
I cannot wait for a cruwear, 4V or K390 option! I used to avoid tool steels (living in the tropics I was concerned about rust), but ironically all of my cruwear is absolutely fine here and the only rust I ever see is on the stop pin on my S90V Yojumbo.

Re: Military 2 info? Anyone?
man... we all about that likely CF/S90V Sprint run. lol. while I would LOVE an S90V variety (scales I don't really care as much about) I'll be happy with the standard S30V one too.
a jade/CPM-M4 one sounds like it'd be pretty sweet too tho

Re: Military 2 info? Anyone?
I'd love pretty much anything other than S30V/35VN, just for variety and steel-snobiety's sake ^^. Probably will cave and get the S30V version in the end but maybe get a custom blade for it (some more length, less needle'y tip and a unique steel choice maybe, I'm fine with the black G10)
Re: Military 2 info? Anyone?
So you"d actually order just a blade from a knifemaker for the Millie? Don't think I've ever seen someone doing that here... somehow a cool option though, generally, for some knives!
Top three going by pocket-time (update March 24):
- EDC: Endura thin red line ffg combo edge (VG10); Wayne Goddard PE (4V), Endela SE (VG10)
-Mountains/outdoors: Pac.Salt 1 SE (H1), Salt 2 SE (LC200N), and also Wayne Goddard PE (4V)

Re: Military 2 info? Anyone?
CruWear from DLT would be an instant buy for me. Just hope t blade won’t be coated.

Got a local (Poland) forumite who dabbles in compression lock reblades :).
